Need to START loading one at a time

Hello everyone. I have a delima. I have a few links that i need to load as quickly as possible. Currently, I’m using the minimum of 5 second rechecks. with a delay of 0.5 seconds. the issue is, this causes too many to load at once so I get blocked. but if i make it 3 or maybe 4 links maximum to load at each time, this works, but its too slow because it takes sooooo long to cycle through each set.

My question is, is there any way to load 1,2 or 3 links at a time, but instead of loading the link checking and then loading the next link (or set of links) it starts loading each link seperately? the problem is, I can load 50 links and it would be fine IF it started one link then started the next, then started the next without waiting for any of them to finish the entire process before going to the next link?

It seems to be quite drastic to either have multiple links literally open the page at the same exact time, or 5-6 seconds between each page load. it would be nice if there was a way to start the loading directly one after another without waiting for each page to load, and without starting them all at the exact same time.

i hope you understand my dilemma.

distill’s setting the maximum number of concurrent workers is the way to control how many checks can happen at the same time. it is recommended to reduce the number of workers to a smaller value to stay within limits.

but that doesn’t work how I need it to.
Let me try and explain again. lets say I set to load 1 or 2 or 3 concurrently. this will start the loading of the tabs together basically.

so alll hit the server at the same time. Thats NOT what I want. because if i only set 1 max. it takes soooooo long to get to the 5th link. if I set 3 max, then it loads 3 the same time.

I dont mind 3/4/5 loading at once. But just loading seperately. I dont want each tab to finish its job and close out before another set loads. No! thats what concurrent does.

Instead I want the tabs to load lazily. 5 can be concurrently loading their pages, but I don’t want them to start at the same time. link 1 starts loading and while its loading, link two starts loading, then link three… see they don’t need to wait for the others to finish loading, checking, then close out. they just dont all jump at the page at the same exact time.
